Bijambare is a law-protected area. It is located along the main road Sarajevo – Tuzla, along the edge of the Nišići Plateau. It extends to 370 hectares and covers dense coniferous forests, pastures, numerous karst phenomena such as sinkholes and sinks of two streams, and six caves.
The largest cave is called Glavna bijambarska pećina (the Main Bijambare Cave), Srednja bijambarska pećina (the Central Bijambare Cave) or simply Bijambare. This cave is 420 meters long and consists of four corridors, the last of which is the largest and it is called the “concert hall”. In the upper Bijambare cave, the remains of a cave man, a tool for stone processing, and the remains of some animals were found.
When it comes to the animal world in the cave, it contains ten species of which the most numerous are bats and crickets whose habitations exist mostly in the dark, unoccupied parts of the caves, which come out of their habitats when a large number of visitors or loud children enter the cave.
Besides the caves, Bijambare is an area with a wonderful nature, perfect for picnics and walking around.
